Incidentally, isn't it odd to have both houses chaired by 43rders? How often does that happen ... and does it give the R's a juicy set-up for Campaign 2014?

      <![CDATA[@4 - As a resident of that district, I am concerned. Frank Chopp has become notorious for telling his own consitutents to go bother someone else when they have concerns: he is the Speaker of the House, after all, and doesn't have time to worry about mere voters. With Murray being elevated to a similar situation, the voice of the 43rd District will be severely diminished.<br />
